Spreading Santorum: Slick Rick says Huckabee is the victim of bad semantics






Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (R) said Thursday night that Mike Huckabee made a valid point with his controversial "libido" comment, but just chose the wrong words to express it.

Huckabee, a former governor of Arkansas and 2008 Republican presidential candidate, said on Thursday that it is the Democrats, not Republicans, who are waging a "war on women" by trying to convince women they need the government to "control their libido."

“I think Governor Huckabee would probably phrase it differently,” Santorum said later on CNN. “Mike speaks off the cuff, as some of us are known to do and probably would choose different words to communicate that message.”

He added, “I think what Governor Huckabee was saying is that we've seen an unprecedented assault by the Democrats against Republicans claiming there was a war on women when, in fact, Republicans have been tremendous in supporting equality of women in the workplace and a whole host of other places.” ....................(more)

"We Repubbies don't really have limbidos or nothing, you know, so we ain't exactly sexperts or nothing, you know. Oh, we're hip to toe-tapping bathroom stalls and extramarital diaper sex, and shit like that, but when it come down to regular old limbido shit, we are clueless, and Huckster just put his big fat freaking foot in it as usual. So ignore us. We is - smirk - just harmless old HYPEocritical RepubliWankers. Smirk."
